Upon the Conrail breakup in 1999, this Conrail SD70MAC was transferred to CSX as their #776. It was photographed by George W. Hamlin while still wearing the final Conrail paint scheme. The loco was built just 4 years earlier in April of 1998. Many CSX SD70MACs later have been rebuilt, overhauled, or refurbished at Huntington, WV shops for continued service. These locomotives are known for their AC traction motors, high-horsepower, and, in some cases, the Whisper Cab for noise reduction. The Whisper Cab feature consisted of rubber gaskets between the cab and the body.nose of the loco to improve ride and noise abatement.
